I want my characters' struggles with external forces to mirror the struggles they face within themselves. The hardest part of that is giving the external forces weight and life of their own. ~~
Ryan Z. Dawson

I was raised in Texas, but call Los Angeles my home. The Crystal Rose is my first novel. I was inspired by my young daughter’s love of dragons, which lead me to write a book about a young woman who becomes a sorceress and enjoys the company of dragons. ~~ Ruth Karas
